About Sontra

Sontra Carmouche is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Louisiana with five years of clinical experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, career concerns, and relationship struggles including issues that relate to codependency. She also supports those coping with grief, trauma and abuse, addictions, sleep and eating difficulties, and end-of-life or hospice concerns.

Sontra uses a straightforward, person-focused approach in sessions. She treats the client as the expert on their own life and helps identify strengths that can be used to make changes. Conversations often focus on motivation, building confidence, and practical steps to handle hard moments.

Her approach draws on Client-Centered Therapy to follow what matters most to the person, Motivational Interviewing to boost readiness for change, and Solution-Focused Therapy to set clear, achievable goals. Sessions tend to look for small, realistic shifts that add up over time. Sontra talks through options and helps people choose what feels workable for them.

People who come to her often want clear, actionable help rather than long, abstract talks. She aims to make sessions concrete - setting short-term goals, checking progress, and adjusting plans when needed. That makes the work feel direct and useful for day-to-day life.

Practical concerns such as parenting strain, compassion fatigue, coping with disasters, and process addictions are included in her scope. She conducts therapy in English and practices in Louisiana as an LCSW. To start, readers are invited to follow the site’s matching and scheduling steps to arrange a first session.

How sessions work

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following the client's priorities. That approach is about letting the person lead conversations and identifying what matters most to them, which helps when dealing with low self-esteem, relationship strain, or grief.

Motivational Interviewing is a style that helps people find their own reasons to change. It uses short, guided conversations to build readiness and commitment, which can be useful for addictions, career shifts, or improving daily habits.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Sontra collaborates with clients to pick techniques that fit their goals and preferences. Together they try things, check how they are working, and adjust the plan based on practical results.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, shorten check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. They also let people choose settings that are quieter or more convenient, and can support steady progress through goal-focused sessions and motivational conversations.
